If you perform this experiment at sea level (not at a higher or lower elevation), then water always boils at 100.0°C. If your water did not boil at exactly 100.0°C, what could be the reason? (You must assume that your water was ACTUALLY boiling when you took the measurement. If your water did boil at exactly 100.0°C, please speculate what factors may cause the water to boil at a different temperature.)

You add some of the white crystals to a small test tube filled with water. The water in the test tube was initially at room temperature (25˚C). Once the crystals were added and the tube was stirred, the temperature of the solution decreased to about 15˚C and all of the crystals dissolved. what is the change in enthalpy (∆H) for this process?
Suppose a boil water notice is sent out advising all residents in the area to boil their water before drinking it or using it for cooking. You need to boil 12.0 L of water using your natural gas (primarily methane) stove.
